Health Care Costs Increases Huge : 2015 Insurers Understand ObamaCare

That the population was warned this will happen years before this latest announcement didn't enter the conscience of the majority of voters, not even as early as 2007 when Mr Obama, speaking to union members, announced that he wanted 'single payer' health care but it would take time, but he will get it. Few listened and understood. Millions refused to listen the those crying in the wilderness of the coming health care catastrophe that was coming.

Welcome to the real world of progressive socialist liberal democrats. The enormity of this refusal to believe those that saw this coming, howling and waving their collective arms shouting STOP!, is only now becoming clear to millions that are seeing the health care costs skyrocketing.

Can we stop this nightmare, sure, all it will take is defeating all democrats that are running for election or reelections. Not just some of them but all of them. It's the democrats, and only the democrats, that brought this ObamaCare disease to our country.

If you want to save our country, vote them out!!

As insurance companies submit their premium proposals for 2015, it is clear that some insured Americans are going to see massive rate hikes, reports the Fiscal Times.
  • Arizona is the latest state whose insurers have proposed their premium rates for next year. For major insurers, the rate increases range from a 14.4 percent hike from Cigna to a whopping 25.5 percent hike from Humana.
  • Of the three insurers selling plans through Connecticut's exchange, two (Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and ConnecticutCare Benefit) have proposed a minimum increase of 10 percent. HealthyCT, the third insurer on the state's exchange, has actually proposed an 8.9 percent rate decrease.
  • Moda Health, which led the state in signups during Oregon's enrollment period, has proposed a 12.1 percent rate increase. Other insurers have proposed smaller increases, with Regence BlueCross BlueShield looking to raise premiums by 5 percent and Kaiser Permanente Northwest only raising them by 0.2 percent.
Rates will not be finalized until the fall of 2014, but in March, America's largest insurers reported that they expected to raise rates in 2015, with expecting to offer premiums three times higher than in 2014.
Premiums vary from state to state. According to Kaiser Health News, the cheapest monthly premium for a silver plan available to a person in Southwest Georgia was $461, while a similar plan in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, went for just $164.
